Green List

Once again, I will be hosting the Known World Novice Tourney on behalf of my late husband Count Sarnac Ba’adur. It was his baby and he asked me to ensure it happen every year, so now I ask for help.

Details:
This is a tourney for Novice fighters. The format will be a Shark Pool style with some of the top fighters moving on to further rounds. Details will be determined on the day of the Tourney depending on the number of fighters that show up.

For the purposes of this tourney, Novice is classified as:
-Any authorized fighter whose PRIMARYauthorization date falls within two years to the day of the Tourney, INCLUDING time spent authorized in Youth Rattan Combat.
-Is not a member of the Chivalry
-Is not a Peer by right of Arms by their own hand

Tourney victories or positions held on Pennsic teams has NO bearing on qualifying for this event.

Help needed:
-fighters (can’t happen without you)
-fighter cheering squats and support (can happen, but not as much fun)
-Ladies of the Rose – there will be opportunity to publicly recognize (and grant tokens) to favorite combatants

**Most of all I need members of the Chivalry to help run/constable the list fields. Every year I find myself batting eyelashes at Knights and Masters that find themselves near the field. I am happy to say they have never turned away, but I am disappointed that this has become necessary every year.

Even if you didn’t know Sarnac, please come out…do it for the fighters and for a lady trying to fulfil a promise.

Additional important information:
all fighters must have their armour officially Pennsic inspected and show their helm sticker in order to sign up at the list table. There will be no inspections at the list table as in previous years. Please allow time for this when coming to the field or take care of it prior to the day.

Looks like something I might enter......

Authorized in May
Where will this be held at within the camp? I've never been to Pennsic, so I think I missed the stated location.

Main battlefield. The various lists are color coordinated. You'll have plenty of guides and perhaps a cheering section to get ya there....

Joleicia,
If you need Marshals, I'll offer my services. I am not a member of the chivalry nor pretend to be one. I am however a marshal and a working class mercenary stiff.
